What Happened?
Whenever gold was found in a new place, gold miners decided to build there.
Whenever gold ran out in an area, then the miners left to go find a new place to look for gold.
Ghost Towns
A lot of boom towns are abandoned places because people left and they became ghost towns.
Some of us might think of ghost towns as deserted towns scattered across the American west. We also think of them as having saloons, one-room jail houses, and wooden boardwalks.
